Like A Glove...

Familiarity:
I've used it several times

How many times have you worn a pair of gloves and you spend 5 minutes trying to get them on? Well these gloves take that annoyance away. They are really easy to get on and off and even with wet hands it proves to be fairly easy. The warmth factor is the only thing I have a problem with. My palms were very well coated, however my fingertips started to get cold a couple of hours into boarding and water did seep through at the fingerprints. What was pretty cool and something that really sold me, was the touch screen ability, and the best part is that it actually works! I tried it multiple times and each time I was smiling because it really worked. They come with leather conditioner that I haven't put on yet, but I would suggest putting that on as soon as you get them. Overall, for a glove, one of the best that I have used. Can't really go wrong for the great price.

Warmth and Touchscreen Sold!

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

When looking for gear i tend to go towards appearances and back into everything else. When i noticed gloves offered touchscreen i figured it was worth a go. I thought i would still need my liners, but that was okay. When i tried the gloves on, i noticed the fleece hugged my hands and a liner wasn't going inside. Well, after the first day on the mountain the Fleece kept my hands burning, and the touchscreen meant i didn't have to pull the gloves off, except to cool them down. Good job Dakine and backcountry for bringing these gloves to my attention

I have the previous generation Dakine Cobra, with the zip closure, and my main gripe was that the zipper was difficult to zip up when wearing. This new design with the cuff closure solves that problem and in my view is a far better system. Overall I found the Cobra to take a while to soften, pack out and become supple, but once it did, feels great. Very durable so far - I've done probably 50 days in mine so far, and they still look like brand new. Gore-tex liner means your hands are always dry. Overall, the Cobra is a great package.

I run the Large size, which are a perfect size for me, and my hand measures 23.5cm around - which is in the large range of the Dakine sizing chart. In saying that, I'm not a big guy 5'8", 155lb, and I run a medium in most things. I'd say if you use the sizing chart, you should be fine. Hope this helps.
